I downloaded the source for linux-2.1.64, and modules-2.1.13. I
compiled the modules package first, then I configured and made
the kernel. The kernel compile made fine, but when I did 'make
modules' it eventually barfed accordingly:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D__SMP__ -pipe
-fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2
-malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -D__SMP__ -DMODULE -c -o dir.o

any ideas?
